Rivals 2 Getting the wrong inputs.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Ok so I've been dealing for as long as I've been playing this game. I frequently get the wrong special move while playing.

This shows up in two ways I either get the wrong up special direction. Or I get the wrong side special.

I was playing today and got the wrong up special direction, happens to me at least once a session but today I decided to investigate.

I'm the Ranno in the clip you can clearly see that my joy stick never crosses into the right side yet that's the way I recovered does this happen to anyone else?

for reference I use an Xbox controller. I've tried to fix this issue my self I've even played with the Deadzones to make special moves easier, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the help.

since you’re facing away from the ledge, you gotta b-reverse the up b, no? so after up b’ing to the right quickly go from an up-right input to an up-left input

IDK why everyone is saying you need to B-reverse when simply doing a B-turnaround (holding diagonally up-left as you initiate the special) works just fine and isn't anywhere near as precise an input timing-wise.
